Um, what kind of order? Chronological, alphabetical? I'll just do no particular order...
Rosh Hashana, Shabbat, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shavuot, Chanukah, PURIM, Passover, Yom Hazikaron, Hom Hashoah, Yom Haatsmaut...
I capitalised Purim because it is the best holiday ever. EVER. Invluding my birthday. The Costumes, the Parades, the songs, the Hamentaschen pastries, the exchanging gift baskets, the reading the Megillat Esther...
And it's Shabbat right now, by the way. Shabbat Shalom.

Both Solstices. Both Equinoxes. All four cross-Quarters. Then Yule, Charming of the Plough, Ostara, Summer Nights, Midsummer, Freyfaxi, Winterfinding and Winternights. Full and New moons, but I don't think they really count. Then secular easter and eksmas as well.

Pretty much every holiday Christians/Americans observe, except with Easter and Christmas we actually try and observe the Christian aspects.
My favorites are Christmas (for obvious reasons) and Fourth of July (I heart fireworks.)

Thanksgiving, New Year's, Christmas, Easter, various random holidays that aren't really holidays like.. President's Day. Get out of School Free Card ftw. The 4th is one of my favorites. Lots of fireworks. We got kicked out of a beach for it once. Good times.

I celebrate my versions of commercialized holidays.
I only really say I celebrate the commercialized ones, because they are often the secular holidays - or made secular.
I don't really get into the consumerism.
Like for one, I celebrate Independence Day, when it comes to BBQs, and that's if theres one i want to go to, but I won't set one up. This goes for Memorial Day too. I don't look to celebrate it, and don't consider eating burgers in a backyard swatting flies really honoring any Country Birth or Veterans.
Then there's Thanksgiving. I hate the whole Pilgrims/Indians behind it. One they weren't indians, so that always pisses me off... Then they were incredibly mistreated. Can't say I don't like pigging out though. Yummy cornbread.
Halloween I barely celebrate but I think it's a cute fun holiday when respected as just that.
Christmas I celebrate the most consistently, though I celebrate the Santa Clause version. It's a nice time for giving and receiving. Jovial day.

I don't celebrate it but now i had to go to church once when I was younger. Now all I know is that for that week I eat a lot of orange jellybeans.

Depends what you mean by celebrate.
My family gets together for a vegetarian Christmas and there's lots of eating, drinking, and walking involved. I'll go to a party for Halloween. My mum usually gets a roast for Canadian Thanksgiving and sometimes I go to a friend's for American Thanksgiving. New Year's I try to do something, even if it's just going to a friend's house. And on Canada Day we go watch the fireworks.
None of those are remotely religious though. They're really just an excuse for getting people together.

i always look forward to Christmas Eve, with candles songs and prayers
and Thanksgiving, which is the biggest family gathering
and Easter morning, when we have a feast after fasting.
We put much more importance on Ascension Sunday, when Jesus was taken up into heaven, than do many other religions i would say.

Both Solstices and both Equinoxes.
Halloween is a fun secular holiday that hubby and I throw a party for every year.
Vetrans and Memorial day are very important holidays in my husbands family. His father served in Vietnam and the youngest son for the past 8 or 9 generations on his fathers side have served in their respective countries military.
Easter and Thanksgiving are family holidays. No special meaning to me, but it means a lot to my family if I show up and eat a meal with them. I do the same for Christmas.
